Azuki Pepsi Review!
A mixed bag of reviews from our taste testers:
"Not too sweet, enjoyable at first, but basically taste like medicines."
"Tastes like soda with the unique/distinct odor of beans. It is not Pepsi tasting, it is worst than Shiso or Cucumber."
"It does not taste like Azuki beans. Something like strawberry & Dr. Pepper, but just sweet with less flavor."
"Soda itself doesn't taste like the original product, but the after taste does...slightly"
"I like it! You like Dr. Pepper? I like that too."

Rinkya Reviews- Pan in A Can!
Rinkya staff members taste tested two kinds of Pan In A Cans!
Bread life- chocolate cream and muffin "type"
The use of the word "type" to describe is not comforting...
Our taste testers! Happy to oblige our A Rinkya Blog readers!
How many Rinkya staff members does it take to open a small can of muffin?
Two!
The muffin type bread life came with a tiny can opener, which apparently was difficult to use!
The trusty "sniff test"
And- they eat!
Chocolate dream review remarks-
"tastes like emergency rations, what you would think it would taste like."
"Chocolate bread was like fake food. It was OK though."
Muffin type review remarks-
"The muffin was actually good, sort of tasted like cornbread."
"Muffin – butter flavor is a little strong, but it’s still good. I would eat it again"
Overall consensus was:
"I would never buy it for myself, but for emergency rations (like earthquake) it is not bad"
There are numerous flavors of the bread available, so stock up your pantries:
Orange, Raisin, Milk, Cream, Strawberry, Honey Lemon, Butter, Blueberry, Vanilla Milk, Green Tea- a special Okinawa series- -Tropical, Purple Yam, and Black Sugar
Only 298 each, if you would like to try! Order via Rinkya Stores!
